Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to package technology and in particular to integration of fabrication methods of layered leadframes and encapsulating processes.

2. Description of the Related Art

Due to the demand for high-frequency, high-speed system-in-package (SIP), a small-aspect package design capable of effective heat dissipation and excellent electrical performance is necessary. Thus, package technology is a critical issue in SIP design. QFN (quad flat no-lead), capable of low pin inductance, is a widely anticipated technology, which utilizes a lead frame as a substrate.

A lead frame for QFN has a die paddle, attaching a chip thereto, and a plurality of leads beyond the die paddle. The chip has a plurality of terminals respectively electrically connecting the corresponding leads. An encapsulant covers the chip and respectively exposes the ends of the leads. The lead ends and the encapsulant are approximately coplanar, achieving a QFN package.

A QFN package has smaller aspect and better electrical performance than other package types. In a printed circuit board assembly (PBCA) process, QFN packages and passive devices are individually disposed on a PCB, resulting in the necessity to design PCB wirings to electrically connect corresponding QFN packages and passive devices. The required wirings may enlarge the PCB and/or wiring density thereof, which may cause crosstalk therebetween.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The following description is of the best-contemplated mode of carrying out the invention. This description is made for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention and should not be taken in a limiting sense. The scope of the invention is best determined by reference to the appended claims.

In FIGS. 1A through 1M, cross-sections of a packaging method of a first embodiment of the invention are shown.

In FIG. 1A, a conductive substrate 100, preferably copper, is provided. The conductive substrate 100 comprises a top surface 100a and bottom surface 100b.

A base embryo 120a and a first wiring pattern layer are formed overlying the top surface 100a of the conductive substrate 100 as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B. Note that the steps shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B are exemplary, and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art will recognize the possibility of using various methods to achieve the base embryo 120a and the first wiring pattern layer shown in FIG. 1B.

In FIG. 1A, a first patterned mask layer 111, comprising an opening 111a exposing a predetermined region for an active device base 120 (shown in FIG. 1L), and openings 111b through 111e respectively exposing predetermined regions for every trace in the first wiring pattern layer, is formed overlying the top surface 100a of the conductive substrate 100. The first patterned mask layer 111 is typically formed by coating a resist layer, followed by exposure and development.

In FIG. 1B, the base embryo 120a and traces 131 through 134 of the first wiring pattern layer are formed overlying the exposed top surface 100a of the conductive substrate 100 by electroplating, electroless plating, or other methods. The first wiring pattern layer is formed beyond the base embryo 120a and may comprise a plurality of traces as desired. In this embodiment, the first wiring pattern layer comprises four traces 131 through 134. The base embryo 120a and the first wiring pattern layer are preferably substantially the same material as the conductive substrate 100, such as copper.

Next, an optional protection layer such as a solder mask can be formed overlying the first wiring pattern layer. The protection layer may be formed overlying the base embryo 120a when an active device is attached by flip chip technology, for example. In this embodiment, formation of the protection layer overlying the first wiring pattern layer is exemplified.

In FIG. 1C, a second patterned mask layer or stencil layer 112 is formed overlying the base embryo 120a and the first wiring pattern layer, followed by forming a protection layer 140 overlying the first wiring pattern layer as shown in FIG. 1D by a method such as stencil printing or other.

In some embodiments, the protection layer is not formed and the first patterned mask layer 111 is removed, followed by attachment of a passive device.

Next, following that shown in FIG. 1D, the second patterned mask layer or stencil layer 112 is removed. The exposed first wiring pattern layer acts as terminals for electrical connection to the subsequently described active and passive devices. In some cases, a layer (not shown) for anti-corrosion or solder enhancement such as a nickel/gold layer can be coated on the terminals. Further, the removal of the first patterned mask layer 111 can be performed before or after the removal of the second patterned mask layer or stencil layer 112 as desired.

In FIG. 1E, a passive device 20 such as a capacitor, a resistor, an inductor, or other device is electrically connected between at least two of the traces 131 through 134. In this embodiment, the passive device 20 is electrically connected between the traces 133 and 134, and preferably comprises terminals 21 and 22 respectively electrically connecting to the traces 133 and 134. Thus, the traces 133 and 134 are electrically connected by the passive device 20. The passive device 20 is preferably designed for the surface mount technology to be connected to the traces 133 and 134 via a solder materials 10. When the protection layer 140 is optionally formed as described, the distribution of the solder materials 10 can be limited during surface mount of the passive device 20 in order to prevent solder bridge.

In FIG. 1F, an active device 40, such as a semiconductor chip, an optoelectronic device, or other devices is attached to the base embryo 120a. In this embodiment, the active device 40 is a semiconductor chip. The active device 40 is preferably fixed on the base embryo 120a by an adhesive 30 such as thermosetting epoxy or other materials disposed therebetween.

In FIG. 1G, the active device 40 is electrically connected to the first wiring pattern layer, specifically to at least one of the traces 131 through 134 as desired. In this embodiment, the active device 40 is electrically connected to the traces 131 and 132 by wire-bonding utilizing wires 51 and 52 respectively connecting to the traces 131 and 132. In other embodiments, the active device 40 can be electrically connected to the first wiring pattern layer by flip chip, tape automatic bonding, or other technologies. The active device 40 can be optionally electrically connected to the base embryo 120a utilizing a wire 53 for grounding or heat dissipation.

In FIG. 1H, an encapsulant 150 is formed overlying the top surface 100a of the conductive substrate 100, encapsulating the active device 40, the passive device 20, and the first wiring pattern layer. The encapsulant 150 typically comprises a mixture of thermosetting epoxy and silica fillers, or alternatively, transparent glass and/or transparent epoxy when the active device 40 comprises an optoelectronic device.

Next, the conductive substrate 100 between the base embryo 120a and the first wiring pattern layer is removed from the bottom surface 100b thereof. Note that the step shown in FIG. 1H is exemplary, and not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

A third patterned mask layer 113 is formed overlying the bottom surface 100b of the conductive substrate 100, exposing the conductive substrate 100 connecting the base embryo 120a and the first wiring pattern layer. In this embodiment, the third patterned mask layer 113 further exposes the conductive substrate 100 connecting the traces 131 through 134.

Next, the exposed conductive substrate 100 is removed by a method such as etching utilizing the third patterned mask layer 113 as an etch mask, resulting in the remaining conductive substrate 100 underlying the base embryo 120a acting as parts thereof, and parts of the remaining conductive substrate 100 respectively acting as pad embryos 101a and 103a, and a conducting device 102 electrically connecting the first wiring pattern layer.

In this embodiment, further, the pad embryos 101a and 103a respectively electrically connect the traces 131 and 134 which are at the edges of the package. The third patterned mask layer 113 is then removed as shown in FIG. 1I.

In FIG. 1J, a first dielectric layer 161 is formed among the base embryo 120a, the conducting device 102, and the pad embryos 101a and 103a by stencil printing, or alternatively, utilizing the remaining conductive substrate 100, such as the base embryo 120a, the pad embryos 101a and 103a, and the conducting device 102, as a mask to prevent unwanted circuit bridging.
